Any person can experience anxiety. It is usually sudden and sometimes a very intense occurrence of fear, anxiety and panic. Attacks may have no specific trigger and appear random but they are actually the result of many other factors. Recurring stresses may be the issue or something traumatic are just a few things that may be causing the attacks. Left untreated it will eventually lead to a devastated person who is afraid of everything and that leaves a foothold for depression to set in. Do you know how many different types of anxiety there are? The following are the most common. You can experience more than one type of anxiety at a time.

1. Panic disorder (attacks that occur unexpectedly and repeatedly leaving you in fear when the next attack will happen. Most people experience the first attack between 15 and 19yrs old)
2. Obsessive compulsive disorder (obsessive thoughts and ritualistic behaviors)
3. Social anxiety (anxiety in social situations causing considerable distress)
4. Phobias (exaggerated and unrealistic fear of a non-threatening situation)
5. Generalized anxiety disorder (excessive worry for a period of over 6 months)
6. Agoraphobia (when a person feels intensely anxious about being trapped in certain situations from which they can’t easily escape)
